Tax $$$$ ($20,000) spent by Orlando to join the Metro club with BLM street painting. Completed yesterday, paint barely dry - overnight...some folks had their graffiti fun. Now - who will pay for reparing and upkeep? hmm - tax payers perhaps? IMO this is yet another example of pandering by government. Couldn't those $$$ be spent on tangible efforts as in added education funding to needed areas? Imagine how much effort and tax $$$ will be spent now, after the grafitti continues on and on... grrrr.

Orlando joins other cities with ‘Black Lives Matter’ mural in downtown

Surely you’ve seen the major US cities who’ve painted giant ‘Black Lives Matter’ murals painted on streets there to support the growing protests calling for criminal justice reform across the country.

Now, Orlando joins that list of cities that started with Washington, D.C., and includes Seattle, Austin and New York.

The stencil work on the Orlando mural began Thursday and the city says they’ll have the painting completed by Saturday morning.

The mural is being painted on Rosalind Avenue in front of Lake Eola Park near the Disney Amphitheater.
